The Concubine of the Red Chamber

"Sister-in-law drinking tea!" Zhang's health is not very good. Song's mother and Zisu tried their best to take care of her. In the past, most of the teas she imported were red dates tea, almond tea, flower tea, and fruit tea. Jia Lan saw that Zhang was teaching her carefully. So he took a bowl of almond tea, added a drop of floral dew into it, and delivered it to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang enjoyed it with a smile, for some reason, she actually felt that this bowl of tea was extraordinarily sweet.But after drinking it, she didn't feel this way anymore. She thought it might be because the child Jia Lan was really caring.

After that, Mrs. Zhang took Jia Lan and wanted to go to greet Jia Shishi, but Jia Shishi didn't want to see Jia Lan and the people around him at this time. Jia Min stayed by her side, and Wang also asked the girl to come over and tell her that she was not feeling well, so she would not see her sister.Mrs. Zhang smiled and took Jia Lan's hand and went back.

It is rare for Jia Lan to come back once. Because she didn't have to go to serve Jia Shi, let alone look at the hypocritical face of her second younger sibling, Zhang was in a good mood, so she asked Jia Lan to have dinner together, and she did it with great interest. A piece of crispy fried meat that Jia She likes very much was given to him and Jia Hu who came back from school.

"Daddy didn't give me a bite." After the meal, Jia Hu went back to the house, frowned at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Mother, make it for me tomorrow! Don't give it to Daddy. Just me, mother and aunt." Mrs. Zhang seldom cooks in the past. There was already a small kitchen in the yard where they lived, but in the past, they used to make some soup for Mrs. Song when she was cooking for Mrs. Zhang.Once in a while, Jia She and Jia Hu were very supportive, and the father and son often bickered and refused to give in, which made Zhang very happy.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her son with a smile on her face, and comforted her repeatedly that she would make it for him tomorrow, Jia Hu became happy again.To be honest, Jia Hu likes to call her father and mother because of Jia Lan. The Jia family doesn't usually call him that, but Jia Lan has been used to calling Jia Daishan his father since he was a child. When Jia Hu was learning to speak, Jia Lan taught him this way. Mrs. She Zhang also felt very kind, so she didn't let her son change it.

"Mother, Hu'er likes the third aunt, and the third aunt also said that Daddy is the best." Jia Lan played with Jia Hu for a while, then listened to him recite the recent lessons carefully, and then gave Jia Lan a set of punches before leaving , Jia Hu waited for Jia Lan to leave, and said seriously to Zhang: "Daddy treats Hu'er the best. Huer likes Daddy, and Fourth Aunt doesn't like Daddy, so Huer doesn't like her." I said that my father is good, and Jia Hu also thinks that my father is very good, at least my uncle will not play with my cousin and the others, but my father will!

"Okay! Whoever doesn't like your daddy, we don't like her." Looking at her son's serious eyes, Mrs. Zhang raised her lips and said.She is not the one who sticks out the right cheek after being slapped by others. Since Jia Min can be so dissatisfied with Jia She, and can show her disdain in front of Jia Hu, Jia She's wife and children don't have to treat her too much. Be polite, but do your duty.

Jia She stood at the door in some embarrassment and listened to their mother's whispering. He was angry and happy at the same time. He opened his mouth to scold Mrs. Zhang, wanted her not to say such indecent words to her son, and wanted to say loudly that she wanted to tell his wife Filial piety, you have to be tolerant to Jia Min, but you can't say anything when it comes to your mouth. Hearing that the two of them are the best, Jia She suddenly feels a little uncomfortable, turns his head and runs away.

"This is grandma who has you in her heart. Our son would not teach his son like this." Jia She had no close people in the past, and there were some things in his heart that he could not say to others. Lin Zhixiao was originally his companion, and his mother and grandmother He served him since he was a child, and after hearing what Jia She said, he said directly: "The fourth young lady said something bad about my uncle, but then the grandma's face changed, and the third young lady said something good about my uncle, why did the eldest grandma be so happy?" It seems. To put it bluntly, Grandma is the one who really cares about you. In the past, everyone said that Grandma has a good temper, but she will get angry when she encounters something about you. "

"I also know that your grandma treats me well, but..." Jia She also felt pity for Mrs. Zhang. Seeing that she had to take care of the housekeeper, take care of herself, and be angry with her wife and younger siblings, she felt uncomfortable , but so what?My wife is my own biological mother. After all, after giving birth to myself, I have to be filial?It's the second brother and sister, what can he do as an uncle in the next room?Just because he couldn't help Mrs. Zhang, thinking of what Jia Shishi said on weekdays, Jia She felt that he was useless again.

"Master, let me tell you something stupid. My mother said that this woman's heart is both soft and hard. If you warm her up, she will be so soft that she will pretend to be you. If you don't Cover her, and she will become hard after a long time. Once a woman becomes hard, her heart will never accept you again. I have followed you for so many years, and I have read a lot. My wife is really partial to the second master. Second Mistress, if Grandpa doesn’t help Grandma, it will become more and more difficult for Grandma in the future.” Lin Zhixiao also hopes that Jia She can stand up, after all, if Jia She stands up, he can take the position, and their family is Jia She People here, if the Wang family is really allowed to be in power, the family's life will definitely not be so good.

Hearing the words, Jia She sighed deeply. He also had Mrs. Zhang in his heart. Although Mrs. Zhang was not a beautiful person, after so many years, she became more and more beautiful. With the help of his father-in-law's family, Jia She is not stupid, how could he not be moved, Lin Zhixiao's words made him a little panicked, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, there was only one woman in the world who was sincere to him, if she was really cold Don't worry, what else do you have?

The palace only gave five days off. Jia Shishi didn't see her, and Jia Lan was happy and relaxed. After two days of rest, she spent the rest of the day reading books, learning from Zhang Shi as a housekeeper, and talking with her. It was also comfortable.

"Did your sister-in-law tell you about me?" When sending Jia Lan into the palace, Jia Amnesty walked around the street first, and then said that there was a restaurant that made good duck, so he insisted on taking Jia Lan to taste it. Seeing that his behavior was not normal, Jia Lan knew that he had something on his mind, so she followed him as he wanted.

Seeing that Jia She not only asked for a private room, but also ordered a large table of dishes for herself, Jia Lan became even more curious. She was close to Jia She, although she intended to curry favor with him, but this brother Jia She did not do well. Poor, Jia Daishan entrusted him with picking him up and dropping him off, and he didn't hold back even once. Now that Jia Amnesty opened his mouth, Jia Lan didn't hold back, and said directly: "My sister-in-law said a lot about my elder brother. Listen to what?"

"Isn't your sister-in-law's birthday coming soon? Is there anything you want in particular?" Jia Amnesty didn't know what to ask, but he was better than Mrs. Zhang, so he changed the subject.

Jia Lan frowned and thought for a while. Zhang's birthday was in March, so she said in surprise, "Brother may have missed his memory. My sister-in-law's birthday is the eighth day of March, and December 26th is my birthday. Could it be that my memory is mixed?"

"Eh!" Jia She was a little dazed when he heard the words. He didn't remember Jia Lan's birthday very much, but when Jia Lan mentioned it, he also remembered that Aunt Qing died in the first month, so he paused, and then said: "Sister Birthday, what do you want?"

"Eldest sister-in-law has already given me a birthday gift, and I don't want anything. What does elder brother want to say to me today?" Jia She always gave Jia Lan money on weekdays, and Jia Lan asked if he really didn't want anything.

Jia Amnesty took a sip of wine irritably, then signaled Jia Lan to send the people around him to the private room next door, and then asked Jia Lan: "Your sister-in-law is a little tired of being a housekeeper recently, and your second sister-in-law is not a good one, so I will take care of you." To make her happy, do you know what she likes?"

Jia Lan looked at Jia She's somewhat embarrassed expression, and sighed in her heart, Jia She was really good to Mrs. Zhang, she couldn't help but think about Mrs. Xing's matter, obviously the two cannot be compared, because Mrs Zhang, in this life, she doesn't want to Let Mrs. Xing appear again, wanting to make Zhang's life better, so he paused, and then said: "I told you, big brother, don't be angry?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Jia She hurriedly said upon hearing this.

Jia Lan was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you say something, big brother, don't think I'm unruly. I only say these things in front of big brother, and I won't say anything except this door. Although I am young, But after all, she is also a girl, but every woman always has one wish, that is, to hope that her future husband will truly love and love herself. My sister-in-law once told me that she was very happy that her eldest brother only let her give birth to her. Hu'er, but I also know that my sister-in-law is actually not happy when my elder brother messes around with those maids on weekdays, but I'm afraid to say that my elder brother thinks she is a jealous woman. But if there is no elder brother in my heart, how can my elder sister? uncomfortable?"

Jia Amnesty paused, he did have a lot of women, he had given away all the gifts from his wife when he was newly married, and later he had a five-year agreement with Zhang's family, and he was in the filial piety period, so he didn't get close to those girls. But in the past half a year, it was given by my wife, someone outside, and I climbed into the bed by myself... Mrs. Zhang is a little weak, and he didn't want to tire her too much, so he chose a good color to benefit from it.But he didn't take any of these women to heart, and he would not be polite to those who were disrespectful to Mrs. Zhang, but if Mrs. Zhang was sad because of this, Jia She felt a little uncomfortable.He has nothing to do every day. He goes out to discuss the ways of gold and stone with others. He just goes out to search for small objects to improve his eyesight. Without good wine and women, his life is really boring.

"Big brother asked me what my sister-in-law likes? In fact, my big brother also knows that my sister-in-law likes my big brother. It's just that my big brother doesn't do much, and it's enough to spend more time with her. It's not necessary to talk about poetry, big brother actually Whatever you say, sister-in-law is happy in her heart." Jia Lan thought it was too late, if Jia She hadn't asked her these words, she wouldn't even want to say them, but since Jia She asked, she hoped that Mrs. Others, it's really because Mrs. Zhang is a good woman.And he also didn't want Jia She to be that person who was only rich and honorable, just had fun, didn't do business, lived a life of luxury and money, didn't care about anything, and didn't take responsibility for anything.What's more, with Mrs. Zhang around, with her intelligence and housekeeping ability, Jia Amnesty will definitely not be reduced to that level, and the Jia family may not be reduced to the level of ransacking the house.
